Noyo Harbor, California, Breakwater Stability and Transmission Tests

E. R. Smith / L. L. Hennington

Stability tests were conducted in two and three dimensions to identify a stable breakwater cross section for a proposed breakwater at Noyo Harbor, California. Additionally, two-dimensional transmission tests were performed to determine a small-scale cross section that reproduced transmission of the proposed breakwater cross section. Results of tests with the modified breakwater indicated a stone buttress was sufficient to stabilize the toe. Armor units tested with the modified plan included 14- and 8.3-cu m Accropodes, 11.9-and 7.0-cu m Core-Locs, and 19-and 8.3-cu m Accropodes. The 19-cu m Accropode was required to stabilize the north roundhead for five successive storms of depth-limited waves for the design periods. (MM).
